Surrounded by the golden hills of the Napa Valley, the 2022-2023 PGA Tour begins out west with the Fortinet Championship. One of the rising stars on Tour, California native Max Homa returns to defend his title from last season. Played on the North course at the 1,200-acre property known as the Silverado Resort and Spa, this will be the ninth consecutive year for the resort to host this event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The North course at Silverado is one of the shortest on Tour and features narrow tree-lined fairways, few hazards, non-penal rough, and tricky sloping greens. It is a very straightforward and scoreable course with a winning score that has averaged 17-under par since 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This opening event also signals the beginning of another FedExCup season. Thankfully, this will be the last ever start to a PGA Tour season in the month of September. After a long stretch of incorporating a wraparound calendar schedule, the Tour will implement a January-to-August season starting in 2024. This first event features a full 156-player field with the typical cut-line after Friday\u2019s round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For casual observers, there will be plenty of unfamiliar names that will be competing in this event. Many Korn Ferry Tour graduates will be making their debut as full PGA Tour members. Among the new members, Justin Suh is the most familiar name as he topped the combined Points List and will be fully exempt this season. While the field lacks star power, these fall events are an important week for everyone who is trying to rack up FedExCup points as only the top 70 golfers (instead of the typical 130) will earn their way into next year\u2019s FedExCup Playoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only eight of the top 70 players in the world will tee it up at Silverado starting on Thursday. Along with Homa, the field is headlined by Hideki Matsuyama, Corey Conners, Tom Hoge, Sahith Theegala, Cameron Davis, Davis Riley, and Alex Noren. With the Presidents Cup taking place next week, the International team will be well-represented, with Matsuyama, Conners, Davis, and Taylor Pendrith all playing this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keys to Success<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With the return of football, golf is often forgotten. But folks shouldn\u2019t sleep on the fall Swing season here on the PGA Tour. There’s a tremendous influx of new young talent and the same green money to be made in DFS and betting if you put the time into researching and educating yourself on these unfamiliar names. Doing so will really give you a heads-up on DraftKings, especially in our first week back with the Fortinet Championship. If you haven’t had a proper education yet on all the Korn Ferry graduates, I highly recommend this piece<\/a> from our very own DFS Show host, Byron Lindeque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
